Welcome to Indemini Festival, our intensive training and masterclass-based program/ seminar for performing artists
Up until 2025, we were located in the breathtaking mountains above Lago Maggiore in the Veddasca Valley in Switzerland, at the border of northern Italy. Sadly we had to move the venue. We will be holding the 11th Festival and Masterclasses / Seminar for 2026 in at the Gasthof Missen in the lovely area of the Spreewald, one hour outside Berlin and 45 mins from Cottbus.
The focus of our course is on personal and professional development:
Master classes/ workshops/ seminars, voice lessons, musical coaching, dramatic coaching, body coaching and the unique VoiceRelease Massage combine with concerts and performing opportunities in outstanding venues such as Indemini.
Indemini Festival musicians come from all around the world. The masterclasses, lessons, coachings, and body work (VRM), VRM workshops, seminars, hypnosis work, meditation, hypno massages, give students the opportunity to have close contact with internationally-renowned musicians on a daily basis and provide a safe haven to develop and grow in a beautiful place.
The concerts that take place during the weeks of the program help prepare the musicians for their future professional lives and enrich the cultural panorama of the Spreewald.
Indemini Festival started in 2016. Our teachers, all of whom have impeccable international reputations as pedagogues and musicians, join together for our full-immersion course in singing, opera, song, solo, and chamber music interpretation. The participants and the atmosphere of both serious study and playfulness, lead to startling artistic growth and demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of our efforts.
During the Festival, concerts and events take place in Missen and at other beautiful locations around the region, creating a cultural exchange between the world and our international participants.
We see these concerts as an opportunity to explore and celebrate the daily work we are doing in practice while contributing to the community at large.
These personal and cultural interactions inspired by the Indemini Festival contribute to the communal life of what has now become our home, as well as influencing and enhancing the lives of our participants.
We believe in building world community through music and art.
Greetings and Thanks from the General & Artistic Director
Indemini Festival has started as an integral part of the cultural life in Valle Veddasca, Gambarogno, Lago Maggiore and in the Ticino landscape and has moved on to the international platform for this year, to Germany. I am very happy that Indemini Festival, in its 11th year, with its growing effects has won an important place as an internationally recognised festival and is known worldwide as a meeting place for high quality masterclasses, concerts, and as a place to learn and grow.
Our sincere thanks to all collaborators and supporters: authorities, companies and associations, public and private sponsors that allow us to look ahead with confidence. Our sincere thanks to all teachers, students, who enrich and enliven Indemini and the area by participating in the festival.
